Japan Politics Colloquium
 
The JPC is a regular event offering a space for researchers to share their ideas and benefit from discussion of their preliminary findings. It covers both domestic and international themes.
This year it will bring together colleagues from Sheffield, Warwick, INALCO (Paris) and Oxford.  

Papers at this year’s colloquium will include discussion of Japan’s defence industrial strategy focussing on fighter aircraft production, aspects of Japan’s relations with China, digitalisation policy, the politics of education reform, party discipline within the parliamentary system and Japan’s affirmative action policies.

Presentations will be kept brief to allow ample time for comments and discussion.

All are welcome.

A full list of the sessions, abstracts of each of the papers, and draft papers are available on request to ian.neary at nissan.ox.ac.uk


Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 March - This event will take place in the Nissan Institute Lecture Theatre
The Free and Open Indo-Pacific: Japan's Strategic Vision Goes Global
 
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, the Indo-Pacific region is a pivotal arena of economic power and geopolitical importance. The Free and Open Indo-Pacific initiative, championed by Japan and increasingly recognised by other global powers, captures this dynamic shift. With the region accounting for 60% of global GDP and becoming a focus of major rivalries, most notably between the US and China, the initiative's relevance cannot be overstated.

This two-day conference features a line-up of distinguished speakers, and will offer new insights into the economic, political, and security challenges of this critical geopolitical theatre.
